The Turbine,
The new turbine, which arrived
just before Easter vacation, has
been in operation nearly two weeks
and has been giving entire satisfy c
tion. It is carrying all of the load
that the Willans engine carried, and
more, with ample reserve, and when
the Willans engine is repaired there
will be power enough for any
emergency, such as the extra lights
at Commencement. The constant
fear of inconvenience and delays
due to breakdowns has at last been
removed.
